Nor can I forget every day I have spent here.”
The Italian manager concluded his speech with a powerful tribute to the club’s spirit: “And so I will conclude with nothing but—Hala Madrid y nada más! I love you all with all my heart.”
Ancelotti leaves behind a legacy etched in the club’s history, as both fans and players bid goodbye to a coach who became a beloved symbol of Real Madrid’s recent golden era.
